For noun to do/ing participle

1.I'm making cookies for my wife to arrive being tired and hungry from work.

2.I'm making cookies for my wife to arrive tired and hungry from work.

3.I'm making cookies for my wife to arrive, tired and hungry from work.

4.I'm making cookies for my wife resting in her room tired from work.

5.I'm making cookies for my wife resting in her room being tired from work.

Q1) Are these five sentences 1 ,2, 3,4,5 correct?

Q2) In both sentences 1 and 2, do "being tired and hungry from work" and "tired and hungry from work" describe "my wife"?

Q3) In sentence 3, does "tired and hungry from work" describe "I" because of the comma inserted between "arrive" and "tired"?

Q4) In sentences 4 and 5, do "tired from work" and "being tired from work" describe "my wife"?

I'd say yes to all these four questions, but as a non-native speaker, I'm not quite sure about it.


Thank you very much
